How do I handle null ret vals ? I just get
com.facebook.thrift.TApplicationException: get failed: unknown result
when
returning null which I need to do sometimes.
This is not supported at the moment. The generated (Java) code checks if a
result value has been returned. In case of 'null' it obviously has not
been. Although this is required for Java primitive types because 'null'
cannot be returned in this case, for strings, containers and structs
'null' could be returned.
The changes required to return 'null' instead of throwing an exception are
trivial. I can create an issue and add a patch for the Java compiler to it
if nobody objects.
